Joy Yasuda, DVM

Veterinarian

Dr. Joy Yasuda grew up in Aiea and attributes her early love of animals to her dad who got her first dog and allowed her to keep a pet pig in the family’s backyard. Dr. Joy graduated from Aiea High School and the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a degree in Animal Sciences. She then went on to Washington State School for her degree in Veterinary Medicine. While attending Wazzu, Dr. Joy completed a summer fellowship in veterinary pathology at the Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore, MD.

Dr. Joy has been practicing veterinary medicine in Hawaii since 1999 and started at a small clinic in Waipio Gentry. She then worked alongside Dr. Anbe and Dr. Rod Pearson for many years at Family Veterinary Clinic in Pearl City, which has grown into the now VCA Family and Specialty Animal Hospital.

On her days off, Dr. Joy enjoys spending time with her husband and twins and she can be found watching their sporting events on the weekends. Umi, a rescue dog from the Humane Society, and Annie an adopted calico cat who was found in Waianae round out the members of Dr. Joy’s immediate family. And at the end of the day, with the little spare time she has, she enjoys watching “America’s Got Talent” on demand.
